Do you mean if the official were to make certain to see and call every foul and infraction committed by the kids of these fathers?

To answer the OP's question, "Where is the line for parents?" ...

They don't have one. Fans are plummeting to new depths on a game-by-game basis.

As one who advocates what APG said, and not sure if you're serious, I'll answer as if you are.

No, I mean if it affects the official's ability to focus on the game.

Seriously, I've worked a couple of AAU tournaments which have a rule that if a parent gets removed, then his/her kid leaves as well. The kid gets pulled off the court immediately and does not get to finish the game.

A simple reminder to the parent of this rule has been quite effective.
